i want both, actually.
i want both, actually.
i'm listening to...
....the unparalleled Ella Fitzgerald sing the classic Cole Porter love song EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE...sends chills up and down my spine...what an explosive combo...

...in the arena
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

master of my own fate
INVICTUS
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley, 1875

Fireman’s reward
A fire starts inside a chemical plant and the alarm goes out to fire departments miles around. After crews have been fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company president approached the fire chief and said, “All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $100,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!”
The crews try, but no one can get through. Then another fire truck, filled with a volunteer fire company of men over 65, comes roaring down the road and drives straight into the middle of the inferno. The other men watch unbelieving as the old timers hop off of their rig and heroically extinguish the fire, saving the secret formulas.
The company president walks over to reward the volunteers.
“What do you guys plan to do with the money?” the president asks the group.
The fire truck driver looks him right in the eye and answers, “Well, the first thing we’re going to do is fix the brakes on that truck.”
woman driver? hahahahaha...
just judging from the bow wave, there was no way it could have stopped in time, even if FULL ASTERN was thrown...good grief!
i have been remiss...
...in my blogging "duties".
this is mainly because i have been busy moving out of my home. this is a first for me and the experience has been extraordinarily onerous...there was just sooo many things to be done. the packing process was painful to say the least...we ended up having to chuck quite a fair bit of stuff as it would not fit into the decor plans of our new home.
and to compound it, both the better half and i came down with severe cases of the shits during the few days when we were moving...
you can imagine the utter physical exhaustion of moving stuff and having to run repeatedly to the can. it was NOT fun.
well, it's over now, thank goodness....round 1 at least.
we are, however, not in our new home yet, dammit. we bought the new place with tenancy and our tenant will only move out at the end of the month. then we will have to renovate blah blah blah...i think the earliest we will be able to move in would most likely be end march or even as late as mid april. so we're temporarily at my in-laws and most of our stuff is in self-storage.
round 2 to come...i dread it. i really do.
